After going undrafted, Furstenburg quickly chose the Ravens over the Carolina Panthers after receiving a call from coach John Harbaugh.

"It's awesome. I'm excited," Furstenburg said in a telephone interview. "It's pretty great. I talked to John Harbaugh and I thought it was a good fit and a good tight end situation."

Furstenburg was graded as a late-round draft target or a priority free agent.

He ran an impressive 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine with a 4.62 clocking for the second-fastest time among the tight ends. The New Jersey native caught 16 passes for 202 yards and two touchdowns in his senior year and was the lone Terrapin invited to the combine.

Elon tight end Chris Harris has also been invited to minicamp for a tryout.

Gardner-Webb offensive lineman Steve Demilio has been invited to the Ravens' rookie minicamp next week on a tryout basis. He took part in an NFL regional combine at team headquarters, but was snubbed for the NFL super regional combine in Dallas.

Demilio participated in the Ravens' local prospects day.

"I'm super excited, it's unreal," Demilio told The Baltimore Sun. "I was bummed after the regional combine when I didn't get the invite to the super regional. I guess the Ravens' scouting department and coaches saw something in me that the guys running the super regional may not have seen.

"The Ravens thought I was worth bringing in. It's exciting. It's gratifying and reassuring. You get nervous. You wait for the phone to ring and then you're so excited when it finally does."
